About This Book

A compiled naval journal chronicles the voyages, charts, and daily operations involved in founding a colonial settlement at Port Jackson and Norfolk Island. It assembles ship logs and official papers to describe navigation and weather tables, provisioning and livestock movements, encounters and observations of indigenous peoples, local wildlife and vegetation, and practical challenges of settlement. The narrative records medical crises among the native population, courts-martial and disciplinary actions, exploratory trips and charts, and the eventual voyages that returned the ship's company to England.
